I have been reading this and partially understand it...

Personally my bow shoots dead on at 20, 30, and 40.... these are the areas where pin gap is pretty consistent... however when i drop back to fifty and sixty yards i get a 5 inch difference between the two to the right...

kinda like this if it makes sense.... if i move the trophy taker rest that i have which way would you reccomend moving it if i were looking from the strings to the riser from the back of the bow....

Thanks for your input...

Hello from France

I discovered this method yesterday evening, and tried it this morning on my Drenalin:
That is a great tuning method!
No more lateral effect depending of the distance !!! Thanks a lot.

I am a bit surprised to read that this method is named "the french method" in the USA: in France it is nearly unknowed !!!!

Regards

Olivier

Does this method assume your nocking point is correct?

tuned to what degree? I thought that was what the walk back did. Is the walk back considered a fine/ micro tune? Sorry for my retardedness.

Sorry ..that should read bow is spec tuned...bow should be Spec tuned than one can run a few arrow thru paper for nock point...paper tune for nock point should only take a few arrows...than you can group tune..
makes process much faster

Most folks attribute this method to Gerhard Gabriel and/or Vic Berger...

There is a difference in that Vic Berger method only uses fletched arrows and assumes a few things... it is what is commonly referred to as walk back tuning and sometimes French tuning...

I believe the "French" part my refer to the retreat (walk back) part... So it is very likely that the FRENCH would not use that term...

Here is a brief explanation of both methods.. http://www.public.asu.edu/~roblewis/Archery/tuning.htm#L242

By the way... anyone doing a little research can quickly see that the method has been modified, bastardized, shortened, chopped and channeled over the years but the general concept remains...

Glad i found this!

Why the weighted string? Couldn't a small straight line, drawn with a straight edge (ruler) work?

Not without a level...the idea is to have a straight level line..
if you used a level straight edge marker...much easier to hang a cord with weight and let gravity level it..
